Regrouting in Greenhill, done properly
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Common call-outs are for grout in corners that has cracked and old grout in a dated colour, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Greenhill, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenhill
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Greenhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Greenhill
Greenhill is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Morningside United Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

FAQs for Greenhill
Could a leaking bath seal in my Greenhill flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Do you take on hotel work around Greenhill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
How much does regrouting cost in Greenhill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you cover Greenhill?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Advice
Signs you need regrouting in Greenhill
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
